Islamists Say Event Celebrating 9/11 Terrorists Not Really A Celebration of Terrorism

Organizers of an upcoming Islamic event in London dealing with the events of Sept. 11 2001 are reacting angrily to charges that the event is more of a celebration than a conference.

A poster promoting the event, scheduled for Sept. 11 2003, features pictures of the 19 hijhackers, whom it promotes as "The Magnificent 19."

Despite the apparently laudatory comments of the hijackers by Al-Muhajiroun, the radical Islamic sect based in London promoting the event, an official statement from the group insists that the upcoming event is not a celebration. To categorize it as such, the document insists, is just a distortion by the western media of the group's words.

The release reads, "Muslims only celebrate two days, Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha and any other celebration is an innovation as far as Islam is concerned. Hence the event entitled the ‘Magnificent 19' ... is not a celebration. This has not been suggested and this is not our intention."

Rather, event organizers claim, the day's event will commemorate the events of Sept. 11 2001. "It will examine its root causes and the driving force and motivation of the 19 men who partook in the operation, in order to have a clearer understanding and in order to discuss whether the continuation of the causes might result in a recurrence of such events, albeit by utilizing different ways and means."

While calling the hijackers "magnificent," the release had harsh words for President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, calling them "the real terrorists and bandits."

The release said Bush and Blair have "indiscriminately murdered 1000's of innocent men, women and children in Afghanistan and Iraq, who have lied blatantly to their public, who are holding young and old in prisons without charge or any evidence, who have wasted the resources of their country and who have branded all those fighting for the liberation of their land and defending their lives and honor, as terrorists.

While event organizers agree the event is "controversial," they say that should not be a cause for concern.

The statement reads, "Controversy was never a reason to ban an event or arrest people. Rather than calling for a ban it would be wise for those who promote democracy and freedom to practice what they preach or admit the evident inconsistencies in the capitalist ideology and its failure to deal with simple problems."

According to the Al-Muhajiroun statement, everyone needs to really understand the purpose behind the upcoming conference. It is to "discuss the lives, motives and reasons behind the 19 men who partook in the events on the 11th of September 2001, as opposed to celebrating the operations themselves."

Al-Muhajiroun, the event sponsor, has been linked to British suicide bombers in Israel and has also issued calls to overthrow the British government. The group did not respond to a request for comment.The man behind Al-Muhajiroun, Omar Bakri Muhammad, was born in Aleppo, Syria, in 1958 and grew up in a wealthy Muslim family, becoming a serious student of Islam and the Koran. He received his B.A. in Shari'ah and the foundations of Islamic law from Shari'ah University in Damascus, obtaining a master's degree in Islamic jurisprudence from the University of Al-Imam Al-U'zaie in Beirut.

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, Muhammad portrays himself as being the spokesman for bin Laden's International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders and according to MEMRI has admitted that the organization raises funds for the Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and is "in touch" with the Hizbullah.

According to MEMRI, Muhammad has lived in London since 1985 and preaches at a number of London mosques. He also routinely presents himself as a spokesman for the International Islamic Front, which he describes as being the political wing of Osama bin Laden's Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders.

in LONDON????? What's up with that? Should the UK be next on our list? After France?

[Cronos]

No, but more important than that, Sep 11 was a significant date for slamies. On September 12, 1683, during the battle of Vienna, Polish troops saved Vienna from the Turks thereby stopping their advance into Europe. From then onwards, the Turks were in retreat. http://www.iyp.org/polish/history/vienna.html

Long Live Poland!

Ping!

Oh, by the way, if you use any HTML tags at all, you must then separate all your paragraphs using paragraph tags: "< p >" ; or all of your post will be one big paragraph.

Long Live Poland!

Ummm Kielbasa!

WHAT KIND OF MONSTERS WOULD CELEBRATE THE MURDER OF 3000 INNOCENT PEOPLE?

[Tunehead54]

Here's the poster mentioned:

[Desron13]

They need to round up every one of the murdering savages that show up for this little hate fest and ship them back to whatever middle eastern cess pool they crawled out of! Along with their families, relatives and friends!

[monkeywrench]

BLOPT! Keep your sausage dry.

[oh8eleven]

I do not understand our people and our cultures refusal to defend itself ..."

We have become a nation of wimps and whiners that's why.
Most people can't even make a left hand turn without a green arrow let alone defend the country.
It's called the feminization of America and the repercussions are just beginning.

This group did the same thing last year. London is home-base for the radical Islamic movement, which is why there have been no attacks on the UK.

THE VISION OF AL MUHAJIROUN:
Al-Muhajiroun activities always target the following as a matter of duty and worship to please Allah (SWT):
1. To establish public awareness in society about Islam as a belief (Aqeedah) from which emanates a complete system of life i.e. Shari'ah in order that Islam becomes the Intellectual leadership in society.
2. To create public opinion in society about Islam as a complete system of life and about the call of Al-Muhajiroun.
3. To persuade Muslims to implement Islam and to persuade non-Muslims to embrace Islam or to accept it as a political way of life and a solution for their problems.
4. To highlight the issues and the problems facing Muslims locally or globally in order to establish an Islamic bond between the community and the Ummah i.e. Muslims worldwide.
5. To create a high profile for Al-Muhajiroun to enable them to penetrate into the society and to let the whole world talk about them and their ideas in order to establish contact and links with the masses and the people of power i.e. the army.
6. To formulate a fifth column as a community pressure group which is well equipped with the Islamic culture e.g. ruling, social, economic, judicial, penal and ritual systems in order to become capable of implementing Islam fully and comprehensively in society.
7. To establish Al-Khilafah in order that Islam dominates the World (Izhaar ud-Deen) and becomes the World Order………………………………http://www.almuhajiroun.com

"It will examine its root causes and the driving force and motivation of the 19 men who partook in the operation, in order to have a clearer understanding and in order to discuss whether the continuation of the causes might result in a recurrence of such events, albeit by utilizing different ways and means." What does he mean by this?

I'm guessing it means the murdering little savages are getting ready for another go around at Western Civilization.

Easy Laz. I don't like it either, but maybe there is a silver lining. Videos of the event might help identify future homocidal islamists.

Do you think this event event may have been a sting?

"It will examine its root causes and the driving force and motivation of the 19 men who partook in the operation, in order to have a clearer understanding and in order to discuss whether the continuation of the causes might result in a recurrence of such events, albeit by utilizing different ways and means."

Translation to human.

"We will talk about evil America and it's oppression of righteous Islamic hegemony, while we laud the 19 courageous shihad and discuss when the continued existance of the USA will result in another terror bombing or if we can come up with something more horrific, more despicable, and more effective, all the while whining about how we are the victims. Praise Allah and the prophet, peace of the grave be upon him.

[tet68]

Jeez, makes me want to click my heels and say "Sieg, Sieg, Sieg," in Islamic.

Who did they study under Marx or Lenin?

[The_Media_never_lie]

And pack them in pig fat while force feeding them barbecue.

[Always Right]

Is there somewhere we can bomb to celebrate this event?
